Song Heqing had a headache. It was really awkward for several people to bump into each other. He also wanted to talk to Zhao Nanyu alone, but now he had no chance to do so.
He looked helplessly at his sister who was sitting next to him. She was enjoying the show, like a heartless ingrate. His sister was simple-minded, but Song Heqing, an old fox who had been in officialdom for many years, was very sensitive. Ever since Song Luan appeared, the smile on Zhao Nanyu's face became a little colder.
It was not difficult for him to understand that no man would like to see his wife out in public, especially since Song Luan had a long criminal record and had done some ridiculous things more than once or twice.
Song Heqing had no choice. Song Luan was spoiled by her parents and had everything she wanted since she was a child. As long as she asked, Aunt Lin would find everything for her and go to great lengths to fulfill her wishes.
Song Luan was extremely beautiful. Her eyes were red and she cried with grievance, which was something that not everyone could withstand. When others saw her sobbing and crying, they wanted to give their hearts to her so that she would stop crying.
This went on day after day, year after year, and Song Luan became lawless.
The Daliang Kingdom once had a female emperor. Now the people's customs are more open and the treatment of women is not as strict as before. The daughters of the aristocratic families in the capital are even harder to mess with.
Song Heqing took a sip of wine. He still didn't like strong girls. Only delicate and weak women suited his taste. Even if she was beautiful, if her temperament was like his sister, that would not do.
He guessed that the girl Zhao Nanyu liked was similar to him, obedient and sensible like a delicate flower, making people want to protect her in their hands.
Song Luan didn't even look at Zhao Nanyu. She was tired of seeing her at home. She finally came out for a walk and she wanted to watch the girls in the restaurant dance and sing.
Song Luan held her chin up, looking at the girls on the stage with great interest, her eyes unable to move away. Gu Shuang had originally asked her to come out for a drink, and she was not afraid in front of her brother and husband, so she poured her a glass of wine and handed it to her.
"Come here, this girl's red wine is quite delicious."
Song Luan had never drunk such strong wine before. After drinking one glass, her throat felt hot. She poured herself another glass and was about to swallow it when someone grabbed her wrist. Zhao Nanyu's hands were always cold and without much temperature. He took the wine glass from her hand without saying anything and said, "This wine is very strong. You can't drink too much."
Besides, she is in poor health and should not drink too much.
Even Mrs. Zhao San noticed that she looked unwell recently, so how could Zhao Nanyu not see it? He just didn't say it out loud for fear of scaring Song Luan. Zhao Nanyu secretly ordered the kitchen to prepare medicinal food these days. He was not sure whether it was due to poisoning or because Song Luan was in poor health.
Song Heqing asked him to drink with him, and the reason he agreed was to ask him if Song Luan had palpitations.
Zhao Nanyu didn't care about her life or death before, and never asked about her private affairs, but now he wants to know everything about her, no matter how big or small.
Song Heqing knew more than him and said that his sister did have some heart problems, but it was not a serious problem.
When Aunt Lin gave birth to Song Luan, she was also premature. Aunt Lin's health was bad, and the newborn Song Luan was also very weak. It took a long time to nurse her back to health. So later on, Aunt Lin doted on this daughter very much, and kept sending good medicinal herbs into her body.
Song Luan knew that he couldn't drink much, so he didn't have to drink. "Then I won't drink."
Gu Shuang on the side looked at her, then at Zhao Nanyu, feeling strange. She felt that Song Luan was like a paper tiger in front of her husband, and was completely subdued.
Not only was she the only one who felt strange, Song Heqing also felt it was as weird as seeing a ghost. He knew his sister's character very well. She had never been so obedient! !
But it's better this way now. His sister's reputation is already as bad as it can be. Before, Song Heqing was always worried that the two of them would get divorced. He was really afraid that his sister would not be able to find another man willing to marry her in the future.
Zhao Nanyu is a handsome man. Although he is not favored by the emperor, he is now a guest of honor of the Sixth Prince. No one knows what his future will be like.
Still can't underestimate him.
Four people sitting together drinking still felt a little uncomfortable. About half an hour later, Song Heqing said he wanted to leave first. Zhao Nanyu seemed to have waited for a long time, looked at Song Luan and said, "Then let's go back too."
Song Luan was reluctant. She had only been out for a short time... and hadn't even started shopping yet...
She glanced at Gu Shuang and hinted at her wildly with her eyes.
Gu Shuang wanted to ask her to stay, but Zhao Nanyu's sharp eyes made her feel cold all over. Zhao Nanyu took advantage of her silence and smiled at her and said, "I haven't seen your brother for a long time. You will definitely greet me when you see me tomorrow."
Gu Shuang immediately realized that this was a direct threat. Her eldest brother was the one who disciplined her the most strictly. She had sneaked out today and did not dare to let her brothers know that she had sneaked out to find Song Luan again and even brought him out to drink.
If her elder brother knew about this, he would definitely break her legs.
Gu Shuang laughed dryly twice, "Then I'll go back home too, I seem to be very tired too."
Before getting on the carriage, Song Heqing pulled Song Luan over to talk. He lowered his voice, fearing that others would hear him. "Did you use the medicine I gave you last time?"
Song Luan really didn't want to recall this, it was all blood and tears. She gritted her teeth and blurted out two big words, "Use it!"
Song Heqing couldn't wait, "How is it?"
What he wanted to ask was not how effective the medicine was, but how the relationship between the two people was after taking the medicine? Do you think each of them is more pleasing to the eye?
But Song Luan obviously misunderstood her brother's words. She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time before uttering a few words, "He's too fierce..."
“…”
Song Heqing's old face turned red in an instant, and his ears and neck also turned red. This sister really dared to say anything, and he felt embarrassed just listening to her! ! !
Song Heqing couldn't speak clearly, and stammered, "Girl, please speak properly. Oh... I really... I don't know what to say to you!"
Song Luan was puzzled, because it was clearly him who wanted to ask! ? She's not willing to answer yet!
"Your medicine is powerful."
Zhao Nanyu was simply not a human being that night. To call him a beast was an exaggeration. He did it to her and almost killed her.
Song Heqing waved his hands, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Just live your life well with him. Bring Shi Ge'er to me when you have time. I haven't seen my little nephew for half a year."
Song Heqing kept chattering, and was also worried, "Don't cause trouble again, you are not a child, can you be more sensible?"
"Brother, I know."
After Song Heqing finished speaking, he handed her the purse on his waist. He would give her money every time he saw his sister, fearing that she did not have enough money to spend.
On the one hand, he repeatedly warned her not to go out and cause trouble, but on the other hand, he gave her money so that she had the opportunity to do so.
This is also typical of the Song family.
After talking enough, Song Heqing finally got on his carriage and swayed back to the Song Mansion.
Zhao Nanyu waited for so long without feeling impatient. It was only when Song Luan got on the carriage that he realized that this was not the direction back home at all.
She turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"
Zhao Nanyu replied: "Go to Doctor Hou's house."
Zhao Chao’s master couldn’t be found for the time being, and he couldn’t wait, nor could he wait, so he could only take her to the capital of the Imperial Hospital to check it out.
"Is your injury so serious?" She had no idea that this had anything to do with her.
Zhao Nanyu didn't answer, she just took it as her consent.
The carriage was shaking and bumping from time to time. When she was about to fall asleep, Zhao Nanyu suddenly asked, "What did you originally want to do today?"
Visiting brothels and keeping mistresses? Or just sneak out for a drink.
"I'm not planning on doing anything."
Zhao Nanyu held her chin and gently stroked her rosy lips with his fingertips. He used a little force to wipe off the bright red rouge bit by bit, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped off all the makeup on her face.
He said, "You painted so beautifully today, I can't bear to let others see your appearance."
How can I let others see such a beautiful face? What should I do if I get robbed?
Song Luan looked at the person in front of her blankly. Her lips were a little painful from being rubbed. She didn't understand. He said he wouldn't be angry, so why was he being so sarcastic now? He also personally removed the makeup on her face.
He didn’t hold back at all. She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. What a brutal man!
Song Luan didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she smiled widely and said, "I'm beautiful every day."
Yes, that’s why I don’t want you to go out every day.
Song Luan, who was so delicate and beautiful that she could not be compared with others, should have stayed in the huge and gorgeous cage he had built.
Zhao Nanyu nodded, "Yeah, beautiful."
Soon the carriage stopped in front of Doctor Hou’s residence, and Zhao Nanyu took her hand and led her inside.
Doctor Hou has white hair and a white beard. He is over sixty years old, but his eyes are still bright and sharp.
Zhao Nanyu greeted him and said, "Please, Doctor Hou, take my wife's pulse."
Doctor Hou said yes repeatedly.
Only then did Song Luan realize that the person whose pulse was to be checked was herself! But she was quite happy to see the imperial physician, so that any illness could be discovered and treated early, and it would be even better if an antidote could be found.
Doctor Hou carefully checked her pulse and looked at her face, then stroked his beard and said directly in front of them: "Madam is born with a weak constitution, is physically weak and has many illnesses, and has increasingly severe heart palpitations. If she is not treated in time, I'm afraid she won't live long."
